Former National Legal Adviser of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mark Jacob, has said the ex-governor of Kaduna State, Malami Nasir El-Rufai, should be ignored and allowed to battle with the All Progressives Congress (APC) government.
Naija News reports that Jacob, during an interview with Daily Post, regarding the arrest of El-Rufai by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), said the former governor is only trying to gain the attention of Nigerians.
The Kaduna-based legal practitioner blamed El-Rufai and President Bola Tinubu for the current crisis in Nigeria, stressing that everything the country laboured for has been destroyed.
He said, “El-Rufai wants to be heard, and the more attention you give to him, the more he enjoys it. He should be ignored and be allowed to fight the battle with APC he brought to power.
“El-Rufai has boasted over and over in the past that they are the owners of the North, and that they are the owners of Nigeria. They are the movers and shakers of APC. When he was celebrating the Muslim/Muslim victory, he boasted that it was just a testing ground for the grand design they have for country so that after they have implemented the Muslim/Muslim issue in Kaduna and taken to the national, they will perpetuate their holding to power both in Kaduna and Nigeria.
“So whatever a man sows, so shall he reap. I see everything going on as the grand design of the APC. The whole thing happening is the law of Kama and it will catch up with everybody.
“The APC that El-Rufai, Bola Tinubu, Muhammadu Buhari and others gave birth to is an evil contraction that means no good to anybody. That is the more reason why Nigerians are suffering since 2015. Everything this country laboured for has been destroyed. Both at the National and international level. Nigeria has missed it and we have become a laughing stock and nobody takes Nigeria seriously anywhere.
“We have no value, we are just a setup. The world looks at us and shakes its head because Nigeria was projected to provide leadership in Africa. Sadly, those in power do not seem to realize the position they have brought Nigeria into. They are not bothered about what happens in the country but are busy driving the most expensive cars and getting ready for 2027 general elections.”
Mark Jacob further explained that the arrest of Nasir El-Rufai by the EFCC does not add anything or substrate anything from society, adding that people are living in fear over insecurity across the state.
He stated, “These are issues that should take the center stage in the state, lamenting that the civil service has been destroyed by the APC with jobs taken over by contractors. What is the hope of the common man? It should be the issue to be looked into with a view of putting things in order for the overall benefits of the people.”
